Eternal Sword

Chapter 143 Poison
"Three of you, let's get to know each other again."

The girl in white said excitedly: "My name is Dugu Qingcheng."

"My eldest grandson is amazing."

The young man in black was not happy and said in a muffled voice.

"My name is Murong Haitang."

Chen Tang gritted his teeth and did it reluctantly.

What a shame.

The three of them looked at the straw hat man at the same time.

The straw hat man clenched his fist and said slowly: "My name is Yuwen..."

"Black dog!"

The last two words almost popped out from between his teeth.

Seeing the straw hat man like this, Chen Tang felt that his name was acceptable.

Changsun Jingren asked: "Qingcheng, where did you hide this soft sword? I didn't find it before."

After the four people introduced themselves, they gradually became familiar with each other.

Although they are just pseudonyms, everyone doesn't feel strange when calling each other.

"Look."

Dugu Qingcheng lifted the silk ribbon around her waist slightly and rolled the soft sword in her hand towards her waist.

Swish!
The sword was unusually soft, like a long whip. It was wrapped around the waist twice, with the tip of the sword and the hilt connected and sucked together, fitting perfectly.

belt?

The corner of Chen Tang's mouth twitched.

This was the first time he had seen someone using a sword as a belt.

If I'm not careful, the sword blade will roll over my waist and abdomen, and I'll be cut in half.

Dugu Qingcheng then lowered the ribbon around her waist, just enough to cover the soft sword, so that it could not be seen from the outside.

The four of them got together and chatted about everything under the sun.

Most of the time, Yuwen Heigou is quiet and seems very cold and indifferent.

Not long after, the rain outside stopped and dawn broke.

Dugu Qingcheng suddenly said seriously: "Three of you, we hit it off right away, why don't we join forces to do something big!"

"Wushan Village?"

Changsun asked in astonishment.

"Not bad!"

Dugu Qingcheng nodded.

Chang Sun was shocked and said, "I was originally on my way home, and when I passed by Bingzhou, I heard about the crimes committed by Wushan Village. They are causing trouble for the people, and I really want to eradicate them. In this case, let's join forces to put them down!"

"Haitang, Black Dog, what do you say?"

Dugu Qingcheng asked.

Chen Tang pondered and said, "We don't know much about Wushan Village. We don't know how many people there are in the village and what level of masters they are. If there are masters of internal energy in the village, we may be in danger if we act rashly."

Yuwen Heigou said, "Take my advice and leave this matter alone."

"Why are you pouring cold water on me again?"

Dugu Qingcheng frowned deeply.

Yuwen Heigou said calmly, "This ghoul is only the seventh in command, but he has already reached the sixth rank. The six people ahead of him among the Ten Ghosts of Wushan have higher cultivation bases, so there must be a fifth rank inner elixir master among them."

"Moreover, Wushan Village has been able to exist in Bingzhou for so long, and even the government can't do anything to them. They must have something to rely on. If you go there, you will be sending yourself to death."

"I see that the three of you are quite young, all new to the martial arts world, and have little experience. What can you use to fight against the Wushan Village?"

This is the first time that Yu Wen Heigou has spoken so much since last night.

He continued, "Let's not talk about anything else, it's the Qimen Five Elements Formation surrounding Wushan Village, who among you can get in?"

Chen Tang's heart moved, and he asked, "From what Brother Black Dog said, it seems that he is an expert in this field?"

"Understood."

Yuwen Heigou's tone was calm, as if he was just talking about something very ordinary.

"Look how proud you are!"

Dugu Qingcheng said: "Since you understand, you must join us. Big Black Dog, don't make me beg you!"

Yuwen Heigou: “…”

Zhang Sun Jingren said in a deep voice: "I just heard from the Seventh Master that the governor of Qingcheng County is the Painted Skin Ghost of the Ten Ghosts of Wushan. This place is not far from Qingcheng County. We can meet this Painted Skin Ghost first."

"Just leave this matter to Qinglongsi."

Yuwen Heigou said casually.

Dugu Qingcheng snorted and said, "What if the Qinglong Division can't handle it?"

Yuwen Heigou said, "The captain of the Qinglong Division in Qingcheng County is a fourth-rank officer. If even he can't handle the Painted Skin Ghost, you certainly can't do it either."

"The water in the temple is so deep. The officials of Qian Kingdom protect each other. The government is even darker than the underworld. Who knows if there are other transactions between them." Dugu Qingcheng said.

Yuwen Heigou said, "The Qian Kingdom did have many problems before, but now that the new emperor has taken the throne, everything has changed. No matter how bold the Qinglong Division is, they dare not protect the likes of the Wushan Ten Ghosts."

"Humph!"

Dugu Qingcheng seemed a little unhappy. She stood up, stepped on the fire a few times, and said, "After all, you just don't want to join forces with us to do something big!"

Chen Tang suddenly frowned, as if he realized something.

Yuwen Heigou was about to speak when he suddenly felt dizzy.

"Ok?"

Yuwen Heigou's face changed and he whispered, "Hurry up and leave. Someone is poisoning here. I will help you stop them!"

Hearing this, Dugu Qingcheng's expression softened a lot.

Chang Sun Jingren wanted to get up, but he felt too weak to stand up. He fell to the ground again and said miserably, "No, this poison is too strong. I can't do anything."

In fact, Chen Tang noticed it the moment he was poisoned.

He immediately entered the divine state and forced the poison out of his body!

Strangely, he was unaware of anyone nearby.

Unless the martial arts of the person who comes is far superior to the four people in the ruined temple.

But if that's the case, there seems to be no need for the person to poison. If it's not an outsider...

Chen Tang remained calm, his eyes sweeping across the faces of Yuwen Heigou, Zhangsun Jingren, and Dugu Qingcheng.

One glance and the answer was instantly clear.

Yuwen Heigou and Zhangsun Jingren were both limp, drowsy, and almost fainting.

Only Dugu Qingcheng looked calm, with her arms folded, looking at the three people leisurely.

"What are you looking at?"

Dugu Qingcheng raised her chin towards the three people and said, "It was me who poisoned them!"

"Why did you..."

Chang Sun Jingren fainted before he could finish his words.

Chen Tang didn't know what Dugu Qingcheng meant by this, so he pretended to be poisoned and fainted.

Only Yuwen Heigou is still struggling.

"what?"

Dugu Qingcheng looked at Yuwen Heigou and said in surprise, "Big Black Dog, you must have something to be able to hold on for so long."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuwen Heigou fell to the ground and fell asleep.

"Humph!"

Seeing that all three had fallen, Dugu Qingcheng stood up, walked to Yuwen Heigou, kicked him angrily, and muttered, "You big black dog, I let you look down on me and pour cold water on me, saying that I have no experience in the martial arts world..."

"What's wrong with you, a veteran in the martial arts world? You were poisoned by me. When you wake up tomorrow, I will make fun of you!"

Hearing this, Yuwen Heigou's clenched palm suddenly loosened, and a golden needle fell silently to the ground.

He has already reached his limit by being able to hold on until now.

I really didn't know whether Dugu Qingcheng had any ill intentions, so I pretended to faint in advance.

If you sense something is wrong, be prepared for a final fight.

He felt relieved only after hearing Dugu Qingcheng's whispered words.

It turned out that the girl poisoned them just to prove herself.

What nonsense.

By the way, when did she poison me? How come I didn’t notice it at all?
It seems that when she took over the food from Captain Liu and the others, she seemed to be unprepared, but in fact she already knew what was going on.

It was I who underestimated them.

Dugu Qingcheng looked at the three people lying on the ground and murmured, "Well...if we work together to accomplish something big in the future and become famous all over the world, then I will definitely be the big sister of the three of them!"

"After all, as soon as they met, they poisoned all three of them, hehehe."

Dugu Qingcheng was very proud and smiled foolishly to the air.

After a while, Dugu Qingcheng seemed to have thought of something, slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no, that's bad!"

So many people died here, including members of the Beifeng Gang and many bandits from Wushan Village.

After daybreak, there will surely be many gangsters passing by, and if they see them here, they will definitely be connected.

Don't stay here for long.

But Dugu Qingcheng was in trouble.

There are three strong men and she is alone, how can she take them away?

Moreover, the four of them were all covered in blood. If they went out like this, they would attract too much attention and be easily exposed.

"Sad people..."

Dugu Qingcheng looked at the three strong men at her feet, her face full of worry and she began to feel troubled.

Whatever happens, let's get out of here first.

Dugu Qingcheng went out and found three horses.

All the men from last night were dead, but the horses were nearby.

Dugu Qingcheng picked up the young man in black and Yuwen Heigou and placed them across the horse's back.

He turned around and carried Chen Tang out of the ruined temple.

Since it was Dugu Qingcheng who poisoned the three people, it would be good to let her suffer a little.

Chen Tang still pretended to be unconscious and allowed Dugu Qingcheng to hold him.

As soon as they left the ruined temple, an ugly horse emerged from the jungle, ran to Dugu Qingcheng, stuck out its tongue, and licked Chen Tang's face wildly...

Chen Tang almost couldn't help himself and wanted to jump up and give Hu Leibao a big slap!

"Hey, do you recognize Haitang?"

Dugu Qingcheng was greatly surprised, and couldn't help asking as she looked at Hu Leibao.

Hu Leibao snorted, lowered his head slightly and lowered his body.

Dugu Qingcheng vaguely understood what was going on and placed Chen Tang across Hu Leibao's body.

Hu Leibao just stood up.

"What a clever horse."

Dugu Qingcheng couldn't help but praise.

Then she also rode a horse, leading the horses carrying Yuwen Heigou and Changsun Jingren, and headed towards Qingcheng County.

Hu Leibao followed her without her leading him.

Not long after, Dugu Qingcheng came to a river and stopped.

She then carried the three men off their horses and carried them to the river.

Chen Tang was startled.

What's wrong with this woman?
You wouldn't think it's too much trouble to throw the three of them into the river, right?
Dugu Qingcheng looked around and didn't see anyone else. She first picked up some firewood and branches, lit a fire by the river, and then began to take off her clothes.

Chen Tang was originally squinting and peeking.

Seeing this scene, he felt a little panicked and subconsciously closed his eyes.

Don’t look at anything inappropriate, don’t look at anything inappropriate…

After a while, Chen Tang took another peek as if possessed by some mysterious force.

After Dugu Qingcheng took off her outer clothes, she also took off Changsun Jingren's outer clothes.

Then, she took off the coats of Yuwen Heigou and Chen Tang one by one, and washed them by the river, sighing, "Hey, I haven't even become the big sister yet, and I have to wash clothes for you three losers. It's really troublesome..."
